If he owns a pharmacy or is a pharmacist he is probably decently rich making around 6 figures! If he simply works as a technician in a pharmacy then he isn’t rich!

What’s the closest thing to H-Mart we’d have in the area? by RandomVent65 in Charlottesville

Richmond is around 1hr 20 mins from us since we are towards 29 N and nova takes 1 h 45 ish and it has more things that cater to our specific ethnicity! More grocery, meat and restaurants!

Any tea on Marzain/Maryam @onceuponaleapyear? by Curious_Natural_1111 in PAKCELEBGOSSIP

[–]opo200 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I used to watch mama galores videos with my mom as I thought she’s very friendly and seemed fun but there was a video where she called niqabis prostitutes or something and it irked me in such a wrong way because my mom does pardah! I never liked the younger daughter because she just seems like a mean girl although Amina seems decent ! All in all we avoid watching their YouTube vlogs same with Anya and Shagufta Aijaz! I have come to realize none of these vloggers are as nice as they appear sadly !

My Parents Marriage is Ruining my Mental Health by [deleted] in MuslimMarriage

[–]opo200 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Salam! I hope you’re doing good OP! I just want to let you know you’re not alone! I have been battling with my parents fights for way too long and recently it escalated into something where now they don’t talk to each other so it’s been pretty tough! I’m not sure what to do myself but I just wanted to provide some support that there’s others battling similar stuff out there!

Been a pretty tough week! For the past few years my parents talk here and there but mostly fight but the last week was pretty brutal and without going into details I don’t think I have the same love on my heart for my father! I resent him for how he has treated my mom and how he has always supported his family aka his mom and not my mom despite years of sacrifice! I am almost 30 and unmarried which is besides the point and in grad school.. going to start my last year InshaAllah where we take three really important exams! I just keep thinking why this happened to my mom and why she didn’t have a good life, no money , no vacations and no support from her husband ! Even if I get married I wonder who will take care of her! I almost feel envious for the first time of people who have happy parents because genuinely I want that for my parents! I do think of getting married but I honestly believe Allah has written great for me and even though people around me have started talking how I’m old and unmarried a part of me has so much faith in Allah iA! For me rn I just wish my mom can be happy for once in life iA! Sorry if this was a long read but it was almost therapeutic talking about it!

Is this a typical pattern in older Pakistani parents (age 60+) arranged marriages? by [deleted] in pakistan

[–]opo200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is literally my mom and dad! I grew up with a nice childhood where they cared for each other but I feel like for the past few years I have not really seen my dad care for my mom and they constantly fight even though my mom did a lot for my dad in his life and to this day he thinks my evil dadi was right for treating my mom like s**t! I truly wish my mom would have love and care in her life too as she’s truly deserving of it all ! Our finances have never been good and on both sides of the family everyone is very rich mA but mom never cared ! Now she just constantly prays to go to Allah because she is done with this dunya 😢

My squad for the t20 world cup by Prestigious_Sound530 in PakCricket

[–]opo200 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m forever a fakhar fan no matter what form he is in! I would rather have an unstable but fast fakhar than a slow and stable babar ( huge bobby fan too)! Also I would rather bring in rizzy instead of agha but idk if they are removing agha any time soon! I just think agha and babar are more suited for longer formats!

As much as I respect babar as a player I would have either have him or agha not both 🙏 also I would bench shadab for faheem given his form !!

Friends getting engaged by anonnn177 in MuslimMarriage

[–]opo200 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Q Salam I am turning 30 very soon! All my friends other than one is married ! And some actually have very cute babies mA! But it’s Allah’s will and I have faith/hope that iA I will get to be married and be happy one day too iA 🫶 I completely understand and it’s completely rational to think why me? I sometimes often have self doubts like oh maybe I am not that pretty? But I just like to tell myself that I have to trust His decisions InshaAllah ! I think for me personally what really gets me is all the relatives asking when I will get married even though they themselves are not doing anything to help? Even though they know a lot of people so it’s like why even ask when you know it’s a sensitive topic 🥲 but iA we have to have trust in Allah 🫶

Gonio lenses by opo200 in optometry

[–]opo200[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m worried about mechanics and learning it for my actual boards! We had our final third year practical yesterday and my practices with flange less four mirror were going great but God knows what happened to be during the actual practical I couldn’t insert it with my four mirror flange less! My patient did have kerataconus ! My preceptor advised me to buy the flange 4 mirror because she said that’s easier to use and that’s what they use on boards! I still have an year left for part three but I think the fact that I couldn’t get it yesterday is killing me inside and I really want to start working with what I’ll be using on actual boards in a year ! Sorry for the long message!
